Gas Boiler Installation Cost Guide

Although most gas companies or boiler manufacturers offer a single fee that covers both the cost of your boiler and installation, you might find that purchasing the unit and paying for installation separately could help you to save a bit of extra cash. After all, most companies will simply work out the final fee by adding a single flat rate to the price of your new gas boiler – which is pretty unfair if yours will take a couple of hours less to install than a larger or more intricate model.  Of course, shopping around twice over for the best deals can be tiring, and sometimes more bother than it’s worth; fortunately, we have spoken to a number of well-known gas companies and found separate installation quotes based on the size and make of your chosen gas boiler – so you don’t have to!

The following gas companies and energy providers came back to us with gas boiler installation costs:

• British Gas – charge £1,500 to £1,900 for new gas boiler installation. Baxi boilers cost the cheapest to install while installing a Worcester Bosch boiler comes in at the higher end of the scale
• E.ON – say their gas boiler installation costs range from £1,200 to £1,800
• EDF Energy –  offer gas boiler installation for £1,000 to £2,300 (although installation is usually cheaper if purchased alongside the boiler)
• Npower – charge around £2,000 for gas boiler installation. You can however get an additional £400 to £800 reduction under the npower boiler scrappage scheme if you are getting rid of an older model

By using the quotes provided, you should be able to work out if purchasing your new gas boiler and covering installation costs separately works out cheaper or more expensive than under a single flat fee. It may sound a little more complicated than just getting the work done all in one go, but if you’re trying to keep costs down (and as long as you confirm these quotes with the most up-to-date prices) then you could be in for a surprising amount of savings!
